The Good about transportation and water

I'm a hit-and-miss reader of Good magazine, which has a highfalutin' yet noble approach to business: share the cost and heavy lifting of moving the world forward.

But the Spring and Summer issues are right up my alley: magazines dedicated to the topics of transportation (Spring) and water (Summer). I'm behind on my reading, so have just started the Spring issue. But there's good insight to be drawn from the "visionary ideas for the coming transportation revolution."

I like to call coverage of infrastrature "boring but important," but geeky as it may sound, these two topics are of great interest to me. There's a reason I thought seriously about becoming an urban planner about 15 years ago.

Sadly, most politicians consider water and transportation both boring AND unimportant despite overwhelming evidence water is the new gold and our transportation woes are strangling productivity, innovation and national security.
